Why not try the challenge? Pagemaps.com had some cute layouts and I thought it would be fun to post a couple here to try! Enjoy using the maps or combined them with some techniques posted here as well. Then email me your creations and I would love to post them!

Here is another technique to use - Masking!

1] Stamp image on card stock.2] Stamp it again on a piece of scratch paper.3] Cut carefully around the scratch paper image, cutting just inside the lines; this will be your mask.4] Place the mask on top of the card stock image.5] Stamp another image over a portion of the mask to create layered, interacting images.6] Remove the mask to see the finished look. 7] To stamp a partial image, use tape to cover the part of the stamp you don't want to appear, ink the stamp, remove the tape, and stamp the image.QUICK TIP
To ensure that the mask stays in place, stamp image on a Post-It® note.
